Abstract
Traction systems for skis producing traction on snow and ice covered surfaces; the skis selected from a group consisting a pair of Back Country skis each are mounted with an apparatus; having DC powered controls, tilt switch, pressurized carbon dioxide (CO2) gas powered pneumatic actuators operating gripping parts; controlled by a servo unit. And further consisting a pair of snowmobile skis each having an assembly of parts; driven by an hydraulic rotor that pivots the skis, adjusting their position when cornering, providing traction, according to a snowmobile steering system. And is powered and controlled by at least one of: hydraulic steering system, an electro-hydraulic steering system; an electric power steering system using an electric motor instead of hydraulic rotor.
Claims2
A System for producing traction on snow and ice covered surfaces for use with skis;
- said system comprising:
- at least one traction apparatus, said apparatus is adapted to each of a pair of skis, each apparatus has an adjustable tilt sensor activated by inclination, and acting as an on/off switch for a unit;
- consisting of a DC powered servo control-solenoid valve that controls,
- incoming pressurized carbon dioxide gas from at least one cartridge;
- said pressurized gas powers at least one gas pneumatic actuator connected with at least one gripping part that extrudes on vertical ascending terrain and retracts on level, and descending terrain.
